My favorite M5 color.....Love it! Congrats!

I've been thinking M6 lately, but these pics may have changed my mind!

Update: 9 days later, and M5 in my garage! All your fault!

Haha, funny you should say that! I find myself listening to the stereo with the volume significantly lower just so that I could hear the engine build up the revs!

I'm sooooo jealous but very happy for you!

BMW is a little off on the $3 buck a gallon now...I paid $4.05 yesterday but I didn't feel too bad since it was only 20? more than the lowest standard grade. At least thats how I'm justifying still driving a car requiring high octane. A full tank and an e60 ride is well worth the $3+ extra it costs.

Can't wait to hear the before and after thoughts on your planned mods.
